Review:

“This is a 1500 page atlas and textbook concerning sensory, motor, and sensorimotor diseases & disorders. ... There are plentiful color illustrations, clinical photographs, tables, lists, differential diagnoses, & line drawings. I recommend this to pain and muscle physiologists, neurologists, and other personnel in the sensory-motor fields. This is meant as an advanced reference. The book covers all the areas in neuromuscular diseases.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2016)
